Lords of the Realm IBM PC MS-DOS 1994 Impressions Games Original Version


Lords of the Realm IBM PC 1994



Impressions Games released Lords of the Realm for IBM PC MS-DOS in June of 1994. Lords of the Realm is a medieval conquest and Kingdom-management simulator that employs a combination of turn-based strategy and real-time tactics. Lords of the Realm was conceived by David Lester, programmed by Simon Bradbury and designed by David Lester and Chris Lester.

In Lords of the Realm, each turn represents a season. Players must manage castles, armies, outlaws, trade, tax, happiness, crop rotation and such-like. Lords of the Realm supports 1-6 human players or single-player versus five AI-controlled opponents. Lords of the Realm is also notable for its castle-designing component, siege warfare, variable strategies and randomization.

In designing castles, players can build walls, halls, towers, keeps, gatehouses and moats. Wall-height is adjustable.

Naturally, Lords of the Realm is at its best when played against human opponents, either by taking turns on the same computer or via networking, aka modem-play.

Lords of the Realm requires 585K free conventional RAM and displays in 256-color VGA 320x200. Lords of the Realm will employ XMS RAM for overlays.

Lords of the Realm was distributed on 4x 3.5" 1.44MB HD diskettes and extracts and installs via Lords of the Realm Setup Utility. The install size is 9.5 megs (283 files).

Lords of the Realm audio supports Aria, AdLib, AdLib Gold, Sound Blaster, Sound Blaster Pro 1/2, Roland MT-32 and Roland SCC-1.
